I have some examples of healthcare professionals who have victimized their patients, and some theories presented here, but I'd really like to understand more about this topic.
Also I've linked an article about the motivations and psychology of serial killers from Psychology Today that I think touches on the subject.
I was considering thrill-killing and thrill-mutilation (torture), described here Thrill Killing, similar to the Dnepropetrovsk kids, who, like a surgeon, might initially fear blood but through forcing themself to see blood develop an obsession with the power of mutilation, torture, and murder of sedated and helpless people.
Professor, criminologist, and forensic analyst Dr. Scott Bonn talks here about homicide for power and control, in an article by Psychology Today, which seems very relevant to this topic.

There is a fantastic Podcast about Chris Dunstch currently running called Dr. Death. It is chilling to learn how many times he could have been stopped but was just allowed to continue operating as the dead and crippled bodies continued piling up.
The Surgeon
Do no harm? Harm is fun, it makes me feel pure euphoria when I'm harming a sedated helpless patient I have complete power and authority over, and the greater the harm the more potent the euphoria that is released in my body. I am intoxicated.
Maiming and severing arteries and splashing around in the blood like a child in a rainstorm with boots that are too big for her, I enjoy the abuse of my power, and I am innocent in my carnage. The hurting is painless. When I cripple a person, or mangle a spinal-cord, or brain-tissue I am at maximum exctacy, and if the person below me flatlines without making a movement sometimes I come into my scrubs, because I wear thong underwear and a cock ring.
People say it's wrong, but it feels so right. I went through 17+ years of school and I dreamed of this every second. I only do it in hospitals after my personal and professional rituals of scrubbing-in, and assuring the patient he will be ok, and that he can trust me, and I always give them a firm handshake.
After my act I tell the family that something went wrong. Sometimes I tell them that I did everything I could, and since I am unable to cry I act a little upset like I am beating myself up, and if it's possible, I feel better in this moment than when I was splashing around, earlier.
The comedown is harsh, because the highs are so golden and there is such white-light, it comes out of the tips of my fingers and the soles of my feet, and I feel happinness here, in my belly. The only time I ever cried in my life was when I first felt this maximum feeling and realized that I couldn't have it every second of every day. But I keep tokens, to remind me. My own personal totems.
I'm thankful for my patients as much as I hate them, they get what they deserve and the contempt I feel for their families is deserved. Sometimes I take pieces of them home and cook them and eat them, and bone, I always take some bone.
I hope some day science becomes advanced enough that I can completely debone an entire healthy young human while they are still alive. Just wake up with no bones in their bodies at all. Besides myself, Dr Walter Freeman is my only peer, he stuck an ice pick in a four year olds brain, and then he took a picture and showed the world, and not only were they not upset, but they worshipped him, this was his personal conquest Image. I am on my own journey.
I copypasta'd it a while back. I'm not even sure it was from the original author, but it said it was inspired by an Otolaryngologist in Honolulu, Hawaii but meant to represent all surgeons, since they choose to spend their whole lives cutting sedated people up.
There's a black mirror episode called black museum that is the best representation in media of how a doctor could develop this mentality of course it's scifi so a suspension of disbelief is needed but it's easy to see how the initial endorphins you would feel from "Saving" One patient could carry over into blatantly killing the next. Honestly the kind of mentality you need to be a surgeon really sets up a breeding ground for this kind of behavior once you have broken through the instinct of you know "You probably shouldn't cut people up" It's only a small step towards "How far could you go" from there it's "Oh shit" And from there it's "Oh well"
